Universal health care benefits the poor / middle income more than the high earners. I know Obamacare is far from the universal health care some countries enjoy, but it is a step to the right direction. When we know majority of the people in USA falls into middle class category, why would republican oppose the bill. I'm curious.
I sent Christie an email asking her to meet me at the lobby at a hotel I'm saying here in Paris. No wonder my wife called this morning to find out what I'm doing in Paris with Christie. I told her I'm reading slashdot at my best buddy's basement.
That is the first step toward commoditized (spelling) smart phones? I can't wait for the day when I install any OS of my choice to any smart phone. Apple fans will likely be excluded from the party but who cares:-) Its market share is shrinking and shrinking fast!
I'm sure you prefer to send a long message with SMS which does not guarantee the recipient will ever see. I suppose email would be irrelevant since your messages are filled with BRTF, TAFF, FDAAA, FWA, KGAS, etc that would take an old people like me ages to decode . It either takes me a long time to figure out that you're applying for the new position or I give up 0.5 seconds into reading your message.

The car companies will against this measure. All in a sudden, my crappy kia can go as fast as my wealthy neighbour's BMW. This won't end well.
The oil is reflected in the stock price of exxon mobile and other US corporations. It is good if you're a shareholder of these companies. As a courtesy gesture, US tax payers are hooked with trillions of dollars in debt.
Being perceived as a bad guy in Iraq is a small price to pay for US corporations to make billions of dollars in various reconstruction contracts. Oh I forgot -- the oil.
Yes -- that will make your tap water smell strawberry, blueberry, etc from the plastic container. Or better yet, coke coming out of the tap water.

It is called stable for a reason. For server environment, stable works really well. Hell no way I would want to upgrade my server every year. Every 3 years --- maybe. Ideally would be every 5 years.
As you pointed out, if you want newer stuffs, go with testing or unstable. They are called testing / unstable for a reason. Ubuntu's release schedule drives me nuts.
I'm not comparing Apple vs Samsung vs LG vs anyone else because I'm commenting on Apple's future. I'm not comparing one company vs the other. In fact, I think the smart phone market is doomed for a big correction -- the phones will go to the same way PC went -- commodity.
I use RIM as an example of what could happen next for Apple if they don't take care of their customers and stops innovating. When momentum tip the other way, it could go faster than anyone would expect.
Would I buy apple stock now? Hell no. Would I short it? I will wait and see after the next few quarters. Have I shorted it before? Yes, I did. I got the timing right the first time and didn't on the second time. I'm refining my strategy though:-) Honestly Apple is so huge in size that it will have an impact on NASDAQ if it goes up or down. I'd like to see it makes as much money (for me -- through ETF), I won't cry too much either if it is not going to. Cheers.
Collapsing market share is a prelude to a collapsing profitability. Mind you Apple is no where near collapsing market share. I truly believe that they will continue milking for the years to come. However, we won't ever see the explosive increase in revenue that's for sure unless they jump in another market or create a entirely new market. They had done that in the past but I just don't know the current leadership has the vision and focus to accomplish that.
Hint: blackberry market share was collapsing while they ring in billions of record profits. It didn't take long, did it?
The reason why people keep saying Android is eating Apple's lunch is because Apple's market share in mobile phone and tablet market are shrinking. You can look at its revenue year over year, it is growing. But comparing it to the overall market, it is declining. It it happens 1-2 quarters, it is not a problem. But if it happens quarter after quarter, we know that there is only one way Apple could go -- down.
I read an article from bloomsberg a few weeks ago saying that the sales of iphone drops 40% in China. That could be people are waiting for the next iphone or it could also mean that people are moving away from iphone. We can't tell until we have 1-2 quarters of data after the next iphone is released.
He could have appointed his cat as the head of privacy reform panel on paper and secretly the panel reports to Mr Clapper. If Obama is not transparent, you wouldn't find out about it.
They don't listen to their customers. They have two main groups of customers -- corporate/government and consumers. The former just wants a piece of equipment that is secured and efficient for communication; the latter group wants a device to do everything apple could do. Instead of producing two lines of products, they combine them in a half as--s product that couldn't do neither well. They had their chance.
Hint hint: Steve, please listen. Corporate customers do not want your Windows 8.
In USA, if you google search specific terms will result a visit from the authority (hint pressure cooker and back pack). In China, if you want to find something the government does not want you to know, you just can't find it. I don't know which one I like best.
Yes. Chromebooks is the device you want your 5 years old spending time on watching youtube. I don't know about you, when my kids turn 5, I want them to start writing programs and learn how computer operates. Chromebooks won't be my choice.
Japan seems wanting to hang on to their past and bad image during the WW2. All they need to do is to apologize to the world of their aggressive behaviour in WW2 and promise it will not do it again. Put everything behind it and start building anything they want. What they did though is to continue worship those generals who kill thousands during WW2 and pissed off all the neighbours. Which country did not kill thousands of people during WW1, WW2, Vietnam War, Korean War. Look at German, they admitted the mistakes and now they have one of the strongest military in the world. I just don't get it.
Africa has two choices in front of them -- they could spend more money contracting US companies and being spied by NSA or they could spend less money contracting to Chinese companies and being spied by Chinese government. The choice is clear when you don't have the money.

If I were to guess, NSA and MS must have coded the back door themselves.
The interface looks more or less the same as I remember on my wife's iphone 3G years ago.
That makes the $1B Ontario (Canada) government spent in E-health for nothing a great deal to me.

What's wrong with applying a court warrant to wire tap a suspect?

The US government is basically forcing technology firms to move else where.
